According to BillyPenn.com, The Philadelphia Eagles are handing out $460,000 in grants to 24 local nonprofits across Philly that are working toward social justice!
The grants come from the team’s Social Justice Fund, a program established in 2018 across the NFL. The team also contributes funding, and decisions on who gets the money are influenced by the players.
As a team, the Eagles chose to focus on four key issues: educational equality, election voting, positive transformation of policing, and strengthening Black communities.
Rodney McLeod & Carson Wentz seemed to have spearheaded the grand reveal on a Zoom call on Monday night, to surprise organizers and let them know they had been picked this year!
